Greetings: There is so much good stuff on RF Cafe that there is no way to list or link to
all of it here. Please use the Search box or the Site Map
to find what you want - there is a good chance I have it. Thanks!

All RF Cafe quizzes would make perfect fodder for employment interviews for technicians or engineers
- particularly those who are fresh out of school or are relatively new to the work world. Come to
think of it, they would make equally excellent study material for the same persons who are going to
be interviewed for a job.

Some of these books used in quizzes are available as prizes
in the monthly RF Cafe Giveaway.

Note: Many answers contain passages quoted in whole or in part from the text.

This quiz challenges your
recollection of the basics.
